George Galloway Must be Noticed

Fox News did pick up the story on Galloy's testimony tomorrow on his role in the food for oil scandel.

Watch him because Current Viewpoint Editorial tells us,

Americans will have a rude awakening when George Galloway appears on the Hill next week. They will see the hatred of America that has become visceral in its intensity in daily British discourse. Galloway represents a considerable swathe of British public opinion; what Americans I meet in Washington do not seem to grasp is that ‘ the Britishers’ are not gung-ho supporters of America by any means whatsoever.

No comments:

On the tomb of the nineteenth century Church historian Bishop Mandel Creighton are inscribed the words: ‘He tried to write true history.’

Like the bishop – who was a member of my own college at Oxford – I believe that there is such a thing as ‘true history’.

What happened in the past is unalterable and definite. To uncover it – or as much of it as possible – the historian has several tools, among them chronology, documentation, memoirs, and the vast apparatus of scholarly work in which others have delved and laboured in the same vineyard.
